• Id definitely give your basal body temperature a test first thing in the morning one of the best ways to check for low thyroid. Yeah the itchy skin is another thyroid symptom. It will take a while to build up your iodine levels if this is the cause…

• It can also be a case of being allergic to said food and eating it too close to bed time. The excess adrenaline release is what then keeps you awake and wired.
